John Force May Be Out Of The Hospital As Early As Friday
Legendary drag racer John Force could be released from Baylor University Medical Center as early as Friday according to a release on the NHRA website.
Force has been undergoing physical therapy to rehabilitate a broken left ankle and deeply lacerated knee.
"John's doing great for all that he went through," Dave Densmore, public relations director of John Force Racing said. "He told me that anytime he'd ever hit the wall before his neck was sore for weeks, and his neck is not sore at all after this accident where he got thrown around quite a bit."
